I have to admit that for the majority of my life I really had no idea why we celebrated St. Patrick's day at all. I didn't know who St. Patrick was or what he did. I just liked wearing green and playfully pinching those who refused to comply to the day's dress code. So today, I took it upon myself to look up the history of the holiday.

If you are as lost as I was as to the meaning of St. Patrick's day and would like to learn more about it, you can find a story about it here. It's a pretty interesting read.
